Sorry for the Leadership-speak but here is my case for Obama
Our country faces difficult challenges in the years ahead.
If those challenges have relatively know and understood solutions then we need someone who has the type of leadership Hillary claims to have: the ability to get the job done. To apply knowledge and expertise to solve variants of our same old problems.
But if we are facing new situations where the principal need is to adapt in new and unknown ways: adaptive change, then we need a different kind of leader. The kind that will help us make that adaptation.
Today, I believe that leader is Obama.
I believe we face deep and complex adaptive challenges, like how do we adapt to the quasi-empire we acquired during our leadership of the Cold War. How do we cast off the encroachment on the Constitution that was the hallmark of the Cheny/Bush presidency, how do we fight a nasty little band of terrorists without becoming what we are against.
I believe that if anyone can help us find our way along that path it is Obama.
It is 37 and raining in Boston and my kids (15,14,12,11,10) begged to go to the bus stop and hour early to do 'visibility' for Obama. I'll be going out after I finish this note.
From the beginning this has been more than a campaign it has been a movement--intentionally organized as such by people like Marshall Ganz who worked first for King, then 10+ years for Cesar Chavez, and even a brief stint for Bobby.
Today you can join that movement and from the bottom up change America: Vote, donate and volunteer.
